The side stories are good so I'm glad they're added.

Fucking hell, King can't catch a break at all.

Was there anything besides King choosing to go after Helbram and others, anything that would be a justification for faeries to hate him, like taboo to leave the clan?

Well, their forest burned down because he wasn't there to protect it. King not being there to stop things that he could have is one of the things that defines him and his sin.

I've noticed.

I guess he can't escape that responsibility, but after all he went through, I'm surprised we haven't seen more if any resentment from him against those who hate him because of that.

It's such a shit situation that I'd feel inclined in not caring anymore.

But wasn't the reason he wasn't there because he left to find the guys who took Helbram's wings, and then got bushwhacked and given amnesia?

I mean, if Helbram didn't fuck up and get his wings stolen, King never would have left in the first place. It was totally out of King's control.

Note: I only know that part from spoilers on this site, so I don't know the full details about why King first left. If I'm off on any details, feel free to fill me in.

And where did that info come in the first place? Are the Raws farther along than the actual manga or something?

^^, ^ King feels that it's all his fault that his sister died, the forest burned down, Helbram went crazy etc. Whether or not any of those things is actually true is almost entirely irrelevant.

Anyway, yes, King went to go rescue the other fairies who were being baited in by that guy Helbram pretends to be. He got ambushed and knocked off a cliff, after which Helbram killed the old guy. Also, Helbram's wings were never taken.

Oh.

So yeah, all Helbram's fault really.

It sucks that King takes the blame for all of it too. He was doing his job, and shit happened that he couldn't do anything about.

Even his own sister thinks he betrayed them and hates him (or at least was angry enough to refuse to show herself to him).

Shit, he really got shortchanged.

I don't think Elaine was mad at him or anything. It's just that he didn't have a strong enough memory of her to open the path to begin with, so he couldn't perceive her properly. To King, though, that means she hates him because he failed etc.

Oh. Well that's both sad and kinda nice.

At least he was wrong about her hating him. That would suck.

I hear some manga reader sites skip them for some reason, so that might be why you missed it.

Wow.

The fact that the humans in the village were genuinely good people makes Helbram's killing them worse too.

Rest assured, that if one human does something stupid, all of us always end up paying the price. It never fails.

That's how most racism is, really. It's flawed logic. "Some X are evil, so all X must also be evil!"

Irrelevant if it is true or not because he feels it's his fault...

Chapter.

"No, no, Hendrickson is dead, don't worry. It's just that he was a good guy all along!" I would laugh. A lot. And then I might stop reading but I'd laugh first.

Have the fairies forgotten THEY asked King to save Helbram and company? Why the f**** are they reproaching him that? Hypocrital ungrateful bastards. And where were they when Elaine was in the forest all alone? And why didn't they help her when the demon attacked?I really hate them.

Yeah, it's bullshit, but you know how Moral Myopia is. And it seems that Helbram will be haunting King for the duration of the series now.

Rather than powerlevels, I'm more disappointed the chapter doesn't bring much. It's just Meliodas curbstomping some Holy Knights.
